Sim Daltonism for Mac and iOS =============================== Website: Sim Daltonism is a color blindness simulator for iOS and Mac. It takes a live video feed from the camera on iOS and filters it in real time using a color blindness simulation algorithm. The Mac version has a filter window that shows the content underneath the window filtered. The application is almost a clone of [Red Stripe][] where the filter algorithm has been replaced with an OpenGL adaptation of the `color_blind_sim` javascript function found on the [Color Laboratory][]. The video capture and live filtering code is taken in part from the [RosyWriter][] sample code provided by Apple.

Note that contribution accepted in Sim Daltonism will often land into Red Stripe too, which is closed source.

See the *Apache License 2.0.txt* file for the complete terms. Additional license terms apply to the color blindness simulation algorithm as follow: The color_blind_sims() JavaScript function in the is copyright (c) 2000-2001 by Matthew Wickline and the Human-Computer Interaction Resource Network ( http://hcirn.com/ ). The color_blind_sims() function is used with the permission of Matthew Wickline and HCIRN, and is freely available for non-commercial use.

(This notice constitutes permission for commercial use from Matthew Wickline, but you must also have permission from HCIRN.) Note that use of the color laboratory hosted at aware.hwg.org does not constitute commercial use of the color_blind_sims() function. However, use or packaging of that function (or a derivative body of code) in a for-profit piece or collection of software, or text, or any other for-profit work *shall* constitute commercial use. 20151129 UPDATE HCIRN appears to no longer exist. This makes it impractical for users to obtain permission from HCIRN in order to use color_blind_sims() for commercial works. Instead: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ ### A note about that license The copyright for the original color blindness simulation algorithm is shared by Matthew Wickline and the Human-Computer Interaction Resource Network. It seems the HCIRN is not reachable anymore, and it probably no longer exists. Because of this, Matthew Wickline decided to change the license to something he believed would reflect the original intent of the HCIRN. But it is possible that someone still owns the HCIRN copyright, which would make that license change legally contestable. So I am relying solely on the older non-commercial clause for distributing this app. If you distribute a derived work that does not include the color blindness simulation algorithm derived from `color_blind_sim`, then you only have to follow the terms of the Apache License 2.0.
